Operation: When and how to change the timing belt on the Volkswagen Lupo 1.4 TDI

Below we will see the main instructions on how and when to disassemble and replace the timing belt of the Volkswagen Lupo 1.4 TDI, but also of the Polo. The replacement of the timing belt, on this type of engine, must be carried out in an interval between 90,000 and 120,000 kilometres; if this mileage is not reached, it will have to be replaced every 7 years. To access the timing it will be necessary to disassemble the air filter box and the engine support, disconnecting the V-belt; then we remove the timing cover to access the belt and replace it!

How do you adjust the clutch cable on the Kia Picanto?

To be able to adjust the clutch cable of the Kia Picanto you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components inside the engine compartment: in order to reach the cable you will need to remove some components on the right side, such as the battery and the air filter. Below them you will find the clutch cable, which will have to be adjusted by screwing or loosening the bolt placed at the end of the cable. This will make the pedal harder or softer; after the adjustment, it will be possible to assemble all the components by closing the hood.
